Get the image number

[cedk]

Hello,

I gonna buy a camera and I want to be sure of how many pitcures was taken. I've read that 'identify' could return it. The page http://www.imagemagick.org/script/identify.php says

The information returned includes the image number ...

.
But I can find it in the command return, even with "-verbose".
Could you help me ?

Thanks

I don't know what that "image number" is. If you want to know the number of photos that camera has taken, the file may contain a "ShutterCount" field, which exiftool can tell you:

Code: Select all

f:\web\im>exiftool -ShutterCount aga_2996.nef

Shutter Count                   : 3152

Thnaks, that's exactly what I was looking for !
I thought that IM could answer me... but it's OK
Regards

Quite possibly you can also get it from ImageMagick, with some strange incantation. But for metadata that isn't directly concerned with images, I prefer exiftool.
